How's the Tru Trac unit ? I used them many years ago at the sand - mud 4X4 races and thought they were great. We used a Detroit Locker in the rear and a TT up front. Worked nice with lot of power.
The next problem on my car is going to be the spider gear's and the posi case. I cracked the stock spider gears once before.
I think to avoid most of these parts is just coming out of the box a little easier on street sticky's instead of DR's.
